Thanks for the suggestion(s).

I guess my dvd drive is going flaky. I just repeated (almost) the same 
command as before:
   # dvdrecord -dao -speed=0 dev=/dev/dvd Fedora-11-i386-DVD.iso
but this time the disk had no errors with rawread/dd and the pre-install 
media check passed.

The only change I made to the command was to add the "-dao -speed=0" 
options, which are actually the defaults, as far as I can tell, so I 
doubt that made any difference. The actual burning mode and speed 
reported during the burn were the same as before.

At least it's a huge win to be able to check it before re-booting.

Anyway, F11 is installed, and now I'm merrily pounding my head trying to 
get things configured properly again.
